Next Saturday, Quiet Waters Park in Annapolis will be full of bounding labrador retrievers participating in the Annual Lab Rescue Dog Walk.
The event benefits the Lab Rescue of the LRCP (Labrador Retriever Club of the Potomac) is a volunteer driven, non-profit organization with a two-fold mission:
- rescue, foster and place homeless, abused, and/or abandoned Labrador Retrievers
- provide a referral service for owners seeking to place their Labradors in new homes.
They are similar to other rescue groups and shelters but specialize in Labradors. The labs they receive first are evaluated for temperament and then placed with foster families where they are loved, exercised and further evaluated as they await adoption. All of their dogs are brought up to date on their shots are given a heartworm test and, if possible, are spayed or neutered.
In 2013, Lab Rescue found homes for more than 1,000 labs!
So bring out your lab (or other pooch) and help them out on Saturday!
